Real Technique Brushes

For todays post I thought I would review an essential in the make up bag that often gets overlooked. This is of course the make up brushes. I have four real technique brushes and counting. When they first made an appearance on the shelves I knew I had to try them and had heard good things. My old make up brushes were looking worn and needed updating. It was the best decision I had made, and is a good high street price if you don't have hundreds of pounds to splash out on designer brushes.


I have the foundation, concealer, powder and retractable kabuki brushes. Before finding these brushes, I wouldn't consider using anything to apply my foundation and concealer other than my fingers. They are great because you can use less product as the brushes do not absorb the foundation or concealer, so what you put on the brush actually reaches your face! The foundation brush is angled which is great to cover every angle of your face evenly.
The powder brush was the first of the real technique collection that I purchased and I instantly fell in love. It was soft on the face compared to other powder brushes I have used and they all have white tips on the brushes so you can see how much product you have on the brush and know when they're clean.
The most recent addition to my collection is the retractable kabuki brush, but I haven't had chance to try this one yet. It's compact and perfect for a handbag size make up bag. If it's anything as good as the other brushes then I will be happy! You can pick up the brushes from stores such as superdrug and boots for around £8-12 each and there are also sets too.
